Day at the range
Had a fun day taking a few of my wifes friends out shooting. They are hooked and all talking over what guns to get. [:D]

Friend and I went to visit my dad and shoot at his backyard (50 yd) range. Friend brought his new (to him, but used) 10/22 w/ 3x9 scope.
I played w/ my Anschutz 54 Match and didn't out shoot the 10/22 w/ irons. It might be time to scope the 54. Blast these old (58yo) eyes.
3/4 inch group @ 50 yards. Ruger had a trigger like pulling on a fence post. 1.5 MOA is better than I thought it could do.0 -
Took a young lady that I'm dating and her nine-year-old son out shooting today. I took my dad's old JC Higgins 22 revolver and my 1911 45 ACP with 22 conversion., They were both Fair shots for the first time out And both were very safe. Both of them had to try my 45 ACP. Mama shot one round out of it. The son shot a couple of magazines out of it. They both said it was little bit too heavy for them.
Both of them said that they had more fun today than I have had in years, so it looks like we're going to have to have another Range day in the near future...
I really enjoyed helping Mama shoot. You know, wrapping my arms around her to help her, rubbing my hand down her back to make sure it's straight, running my hands down her legs and bottom to make sure they weren't all tensed (shhhh, I know having tense legs and bottom doesn't matter[:D])...[:p][:p]
Looks like I'm going to have to buy another Centerfire pistol but has less recoil than the 45 ACP so that they can shoot it[:D]... The things we do for women. I need another firearm like I need a hole in my head..[:o)]0 -
Took a buddy, his son and the nephew to the range today.
The young men had a grand time chewing up a brick of low cost Win 22.
I introduced them to revolver shooting with a S&W Model 35 target.
Another fella showed up with his son in tow. That young man was delighted to shoot "his" stainless chipmunk while dad was breaking in his new Springfield "Tactical" 45. He offered both of our youngsters the chance to shoot the 45. It's a good thing he brought lots of ammo. Teens seemed more then willing to shoot up ALL the ammo in sight.
Next time we are taking the Hi-power "toys".0 -
Took a friend to the range yesterday. He brought two of his kids with him. They had a blast until we were out of ammo and it was time to go home and clean the guns. The younger one the boy got yelled at for not listening to instructions on cleaning but playing aroud.
The older kid, the daughter listened to all advice and spent an extra 20 minutes trying to get the extra clean.0 -

I have found that women make some of the best shots! I don't know why, but it seems to be!0 -

Because most of the time they have attained no bad habits to get them away from. Women will statistically shoot a person quicker than a man will also. That, it is beleived, is because they do not fully understand the destructive nature of firearms.

Under their hair. Didn't have enough muffs for everyone. So gave them to the kids first.0 -
OK, I'm an old grump....but....
EYES and EARS.....EVERY TIME. [:(!]
Do they know you put their picture on here? [:0][:p]
You took your wife's "friends" out shooting.
Does your wife know about this??? [:o)]0 -
Once the females get a taste of guns they love them, they, being the "weak" sex, get a feeling of empowerment and equality from guns. Sort of like the gals buying Harleys these days. The number of women that apply for CCW permits when a state passes a carry law is surprisingly large. 0 -
Seems like you had a great day, I on the other hand had to work. 0 -

They had ear protection. I used the foam plugs that I use offshore since they didn't have muffs as this was their first time shooting. Offered eye protection but I won't insist on it since I've never liked it either.
Yes they did know I posted these pics.
Anything else Pickenup AKA mother hen? [:D]
EDIT: BTW my wife was with us, so yes she did know. [:)]0 -
